Print Ranges

[Steve]

How can I specify a print range, or more specifically set the print range to only include the right most columns that contain data?

For example, when I look at the Grid Pad example, and press print preview, how can I specify a certain number of pages, or better yet the number of pages that exist?

Thanks
Steve

If you only want to print certain columns/rows, then handle the QueryColWidth/QueryRowHeights event(s).

In your event handler, if e.Index point to a col/row that you don''t want to print and if grid.PrintingMode is true, then set e.Size = 0. This will essentially hide any col/row you don''t want to see.

Here is a KB link that prints a footer showing the page count 1 of xx. It gets the page count from teh printersettings.maximumpages property.

Is there a way to simply specify a print range, say I want to print cells 1,1 to 5,5.

If you have cells selected in the grid, you can print them with code like:

GridPrintDocument pd = new GridPrintDocument(this.gridControl1, true);
PrintPreviewDialog dlg = new PrintPreviewDialog() ;
pd.PrinterSettings.PrintRange = System.Drawing.Printing.PrintRange.Selection;
dlg.Document = pd;
dlg.ShowDialog();

If you need to select the cells from code, you can add code like:

this.gridControl1.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Cells(1,1,5,5));

I'd just like to add that the following line of code given above:

this.gridControl1.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Cells(1,1,5,5));

did not work for me, but this code did:

this.gridControl1.Selections.Ranges.Add(GridRangeInfo.Cells(1, 1, 5, 5))
